The ID checks will only make things worse. Like 4 free “tube” sites based in America and that are trying to be mainstream and ad-supported (Pornhub and ????) comply with Louisiana’s current ID check law while the 5,000 sites based anywhere else on Earth don’t give a shit. Most probably don’t even filter for CSAM.
Half the internet is porn. Reddit has porn. There’s a Lemmy instance for NSFW stuff. To imagine they’re going to stop teens from finding smut because the “reputable” site checks ID is just willful naivety.
Also, I realize the goal of the Texas law is to label anything GLBT+ as “porn.” I’m not the naive one in this case. But the arguments in the case aren’t about the hidden agenda of conservatives.
I have not seen the acronym written as GLBT in quite a long time.
I wonder if switching up the order more often would be a good way to remind everyone that every letter is a separate group of people

It's just step 1.
Once you get the big players with heavy wallets out of the way, then you can go after search engines that list it. Search engines probably don't have enough motive to fight it, and the big players already packed their bags. Once it's no longer on Google/Bing it may as well not exist for the vast majority of people.
There was an article about one of the masterminds behind these laws that got secretly recorded and he basically confirmed what I just said. ID laws are the start.
They probably aim to pivot to some technical issue causing them to retain user sessions with facial ids attached so theres kompromat on voters.
Be a real shame if your Trump-voting, anti-LGBT+ family and neighbors learned about one's penchant for interracial trans tentacle porn
